Google Products?

Hello all DP members,

I dont know if this is the right place to put the thread or not, if it is not the MODz please let me know the right place and close this thread.

My question is, " is there any one who know anything about listing in Google Products?"

I have a client with a Magento shopping cart with about 100 to 125 items in it. what are your charges and what action you will perform, Please reply here or in PM me with title ,"Google Products"

All the Best,

 

It's going to depend on how often they change their items. If the answer is not often they can import using a flat file. Do a search for google merchant center which is the new froogle.

We stopped using it a few months back after some changes they made that made it no longer worth the time. Others rave about it.

 

Do your customer a favor and go to Magnetic One and suggest your customer buy/install the Google Base plugin for his ecommerce site.
http://www.magneticone.com

And don't forget products expire after 30 days. Your customer will need to update the products monthly and the plugin will save him a lot of time.

 

In China, we have a google search ranking service..which means you pay some moeny to google, then your website can be easier to find by your customer .( Sorry ..my English is poor)
